To tell the mind-blowing true story of Anna Sorokin, aka Anna Delvey's ability to scam New York's elite, businesses, banks, her friends, and more out of thousands of dollars, Shonda Rhimes and her production company, Shondaland, have changed the names of some of the key players in the story or created highly fictionalized versions of them.
Succession star Arian Moayed takes on the role of Delvey's hard-working and caring defense lawyer Todd Spodek who is based on Delvey's real-life lawyer of the same name. Todd Spodek is one of the few characters to not have his name changed and audiences want to know more about him, including his wife on and off-screen.
Newsweek has everything you need to know about Todd Spodek's wife and who plays her in Inventing Anna.
Who Is Todd Spodek's Wife?
In Netflix's Inventing Anna, Todd Spodek's wife is called Margaret. Throughout the series, she offers advice to her husband but at times challenges how close he is getting to the case, making for an interesting and sometimes tense relationship between the pair.
When Spodek misses a family vacation to work on Delvey's case, Margaret and Todd Spodek have a huge argument, showcasing how much Delvey's demands had affected and infiltrated all aspects of Spodek's life.
Margaret, like Todd, is an attorney but that is where the similarities stop. Todd grew up in a working-class family, working jobs to pay his mom's rent in the summer whereas Margaret was raised in a comfortable, middle-upper class family.
The real Todd Spodek is married to Victoria Spodek, who like the fictionalized Margaret in the series is also an attorney.
The Cinemaholic reports Victoria Spodek received her Doctor of Law degree from Pace University and also holds a Bachelor's degree in Art History. She has worked with her husband's law firm, the Spodek Law Group P.C., and recently worked with American International Group (AIG) as a claims analyst.
Today, the real Todd and Victoria Spodek have two children and reside in Brooklyn, New York City.
